Important information
Safety
To reduce the risk of electrocution, disconnect the power cord on the
rear panel before remo ing the top co er of the projector. For technical
ser ice refer to trained personnel authorized by the manufacturer.
If the lamp suddenly explodes with a loud bang, turn off the projector immediately
and air the room thoroughly. Do not attempt to restart the projector and do attempt
to replace the bulb: contact your local ser ice center.
Read this guide
Read all chapters of this guide carefully before switching on the projector. This guide
pro ides basic instructions for operating the Nero 3D-1/3D-2/3D HB projectors. Install-
ation, preliminary adjustments and procedures that necessitate the remo al of the
top co er and contact with electrical components must be performed by authorized,
trained technicians. To ensure safe operation and long term reliability use only the
power cords supplied by the manufacturer. Obser e all warnings and precautions.
Keep this guide for future consultation.
Do not touch internal parts of the projector
Inside the housing there are electrical parts carrying dangerously high oltages and
parts operating at high temperature. Ne er open the housing. Entrust all ser icing and
repair work to a SIM2 Authorized Ser ice Center. Opening the housing oids the war-
ranty.
Disconnect the appliance from the power supply
The de ice that disconnects the projector from the mains is the power plug. Ensure
that the power cord plugs and the electrical outlets are easily accessible during install-
ation operations. Pull the plug, not the cord, to disconnect the projector from the
mains. Use only the specified power supply. Connect the projector to a mains electric-
al supply with rated oltage of between 100-240 V AC, 50/60 Hz and equipped with a
protecti e earth connection. If you are not sure of your domestic mains rating, contact
an electrician. Take care to a oid o erloading the power socket and any extension
leads.
Switching the projector off
Pay attention to the switch off procedure for the projector. The projector must always
be brought back to the standby state to allow the projector to carry out the cooling
procedure. Should this not happen, for example due to a power cut, the projector may
enter a state of protection that leads to switch-on being blocked. This block will last
until the internal components of the projector ha e completely cooled down.
Changing the fuses
Before changing the fuse, disconnect the projector from the mains power supply. The
fuse compartment is next to the power supply connector. Remo e the fuse holder

with a flat head screwdri er and replace the fuse. Fit the replacement fuse. Use only
type T 10 A L H fuses for the projector.
Be careful with cables
Make sure cables are routed so that people are not impeded or become a trip hazard.
Keep all cables away from children. Install the projector as close to the wall socket as
possible. A oid stepping on power cords, make certain they do not become tangled,
and ne er jerk or tug them; do not expose them to sources of heat, and make sure
they do not become knotted or crimped. If the power cords become damaged, stop
using the projector and request the assistance of an authorized technician.
Disconnect the projector from the mains power during electrical storms and when
not in use
To pre ent damage from lightning strikes in the icinity, disconnect the projector dur-
ing storms or when the projector is going to be left unused for a long time.
Avoid contact with liquids and exposure to damp
Do not use the projector near water (sinks, tubs and so on); do not place objects con-
taining liquids on or near the projector and do not expose it to rain, humidity, drops of
water or sprays; do not use water or liquid detergent to clean it.
Place the projector on a stable surface
Place the projector on a stable surface or use a suitable ceiling mounting bracket. Ne -
er place the projector on its side or rear, on the lens or top panel.
Do not allow the projector to overheat
To pre ent o erheating, allow a free space of at least 0.25 m (10 in.) on the left, right
and rear sides of the projector. Do not obstruct the entilation slots. Do not place the
projector near heat sources such as heaters, radiators or other de ices (including
amplifiers) that generate heat. Do not place the projector in an area where there is
insufficient space (shel ing units, bookshel es and so on) and in general a oid placing
it in poorly entilated areas as this may pre ent sufficient cooling and significantly
reduce lamp life.
Never look directly at the projection lamp
Ne er look directly into the lens when the lamp is on as the intense light may damage
your eyes. Take particular care that children cannot do so.
ake special care regarding movement of the lens
Do not place objects in the slots on the side of the lens and also ensure that ertical
lens mo ements are not impeded by external objects.
Do not insert objects through the openings in the projector
Make sure that no objects are inserted inside the projector. If this should occur, dis-
connect the projector from the power supply immediately and call an authorized tech-
nician.
Power saving
We ad ise disconnecting the projector from the power supply when not in use. In this
way you will achie e considerable power sa ings while at the same time protecting in-
ternal electrical parts from wear.

Notice
The appliance has been subjected to exhausti e operating tests by SIM2 to guarantee
the highest quality. The projector bulb life should thus initially be around 30-60 hours.
In addition to the customary checks, the Quality Control department also runs addi-
tional statistical tests before shipment. In such cases, the packaging may show signs of
ha ing been opened, and the hours of lamp operation may pro e to be higher than
those normally shown when only standard tests are performed.
As the optical system of the Nero 3D-1/3D-2/3D HB is extremely compact and has the
purpose of de eloping ery high brightness and contrast, it is possible that a small
quantity of light is isible outside of the projection area and will ary depending on
the type of lens used and the zoom and shift setup. This characteristic of the optical
system is to be deemed as normal. In order to reduce this effect SIM2 recommends
that the area surrounding the projection screen is as dark as possible.

Operation
The Nero 3D projector has two IR recei ers, one on the front and one on the back of
the unit. The operati e range of the remote control is approximately 10 m (33 ft.).
Make sure that there is nothing obstructing the infrared beam between the remote
control and the IR recei er you are pointing to. You can point the remote control to-
wards the screen, as the IR beam is reflected by the screen towards front IR recei er
of the projector. In this case the effecti e range of the remote control may be smaller
than declared.
Batteries
To install batteries in the remote control:
1. Open the battery co er.
2. Insert four AAA (LR03) batteries making sure the polarities match the + marks
inside the battery compartment.
3. Replace the co er.
Replace the batteries with new ones when the operating range of the remote control
decreases. Dispose of used batteries according to local regulations. Make sure you do
not mix old and new batteries or different types of batteries.
Warning: If you will not use the remote control for a long time, remo e the batteries
to a oid battery leakage.

3D IR Emitter
The 3D infrared emitter is designed to be placed near the projector and aimed at the
screen. It recei es the 3D sync signal from the projector and emits infrared pulses that
bounce off the screen and the walls to reach the 3D glasses infrared recei er.
Note: The emitter emits sync pulses only when the projector displays 3D content.
3D Glasses
When displaying 3D content, the projector alternately displays one image for the left
eye and one image for the right eye in rapid succession. The 3D glasses turn on and off
their lenses, in sync with the projector, so that each eye recei es exactly the image in-
tended for it. The sync is possible thanks to the infrared pulses recei ed by the glasses
from the 3D IR emitter.

3 Installation
This section pro ides instructions for the installation of the Nero 3D projector.
Important: Installation procedures should be performed by a qualified AV system spe-
cialist.
Location
When installing the Nero 3D projector, take the following considerations into account.
Installation ype
Select the installation type that best suits your needs:
•front or rear projection
•floor or ceiling mount
Lens ype
Choose the desired distance from the screen and select the lens type (T1, T2 or T3)
that determines the desired screen size.
Cooling
Make sure that the planned location for the projector has adequate entilation. Check
that room temperature is below 35° C and that the projector is away from heating
ents. Ensure a minimum 0.25 m (10 in.) clearance on the left, right and rear sides of
the projector.
Power Outlets
Verify that the powers outlets are grounded and preferably shielded from power
surges and fluctuations. A UPS is optional. Nero 3D power supply operates on any
nominal line oltage between 100-240 V AC, 50-60 Hz.
Cables
Check planned cable lengths for ideo and control cables and make sure these lengths
do not exceed specifications.
Ambient Light
A oid or minimize light sources directed at the screen to preser e the quality of the
projected image.
Mounting
The projector can be Floor mounted (upright) or Ceiling mounted (in erted). Choose
the method that best suits your installation.
Important: The projection lens is not centered to the chassis (it is off-center horizont-
ally by 75 mm or 2.95 in., see “Dimensions” on page 41 for details). Make sure the
centerline of the lens is centered horizontally to the center of the screen.
Floor Mounting
Position the projector on a secure and flat surface (such as a table or a shelf). Adjust
the three feet at the bottom of the projector until the projector is le el on all sides.
3 Installation Nero 3D
User Guide
13

Ceiling Mounting
In ert the projector and suspend it from the ceiling using a specific bracket.
•To fit the bracket unscrew and remo e the 3 rubber feet
•Attach bracket by using 3 x M6 screws not exceeding 15 mm in length
For ceiling mounting use only SIM2-appro ed ceiling brackets and adhere
to the installation instructions and safety guidelines pro ided with the
bracket. Do not o er-tighten the screws.
Orientation
By default, the Nero 3D is configured for a Front installation (projector installed up-
right and in front of the screen). If the projector is installed behind the screen or in er-
ted, you can use the image orientation function of the projector (see “Orientation” on
page 29)
Vertical Lens Shift
Ideally, the projector should be positioned at a right angle to the screen and in such a
way that:
•the lens center and screen center are aligned with each other
•the projected image fills the screen perfectly
3 Installation Nero 3D
User Guide
14

If it is not possible to position the projector perpendicular to
the projection screen (so that the lens center and screen cen-
ter are aligned with each other) you can use the mechanical
lens control at the top of the projector to shift the projected
image ertically:
•insert the pro ided hex wrench into the ertical lens
shift adjuster
•turn the wrench to shift the lens in the desired direc-
tion
The Nero 3D pro ides up to 50% of ertical lens shift up. For example, with a 16:9 150
in. diagonal size screen, you can shift the image up to 0.93 m (36.8 in.) abo e the
screen center (see “Projection Distances” on page 40).
Keystone
If the projector is ceiling-mounted and the screen is lower than the projector, you may
need to tilt the projector by adjusting the ceiling mount. If you do so:
•the top and bottom borders of the image will be unequal in length
•the sides of the image will be inclined
If the tilt is not excessi e, you can use the Keystone function of the projector to cor-
rect the image shape. See “Keystone” on page 29.
Note: Keystone correction may cause artifacts in the image and may not be a ailable
when displaying specific 3D content (see Table 4.2).
Zoom and Focus
The Nero 3D pro ides motorized Zoom and Focus controls. You can access these
adjustments through the remote control directly:
•F1 key for optical Zoom
•F2 key for Focus
See “F1-F2 Keys” on page 31 for details.
Connections
Proceed as follows to connect the Nero 3D to ideo sources, control de ices, screen
control systems, 3D sync emitter and AC power.
When connecting your equipment:
•turn off all equipment before making any connections
•use the correct signal cables for each source
•make sure cables are routed so that people are not impeded or become a trip
hazard
•ensure that the cables are securely connected (tighten the thumbscrews on
connectors that ha e them)
Video
Often the sources (Blu-ray Players, Set Top Boxes, Game Consoles and so on) ha e se -
eral outputs. Choose HDMI whene er possible.
•HDMI The major benefits of this signal type are:
◦best image quality, because the signal is carried in the digital domain
3 Installation Nero 3D
User Guide
15

throughout the entire signal path
◦highest a ailable resolution, because ideo sources can deli er full resolu-
tion content ia HDMI only
◦a ailability of 3D content, because most 3D compatible sources deli er 3D
content from HDMI only
◦optimization of se eral image parameters (2D/3D content, color space, as-
pect, signal range, o er scan), thanks to auxiliary information (AVI in-
foframe) sent by the source de ice together with the signal.
If your source has dual HDMI outputs, we would recommend direct connec-
tion to the projector from one of the HDMI connections and the second HDMI
output to the input of an appropriate AV recei er/processor for audio.
Sources with a DVI-D output can be connected to the HDMI input of the pro-
jector using a suitable DVI-D to HDMI cable. In this case no auxiliary informa-
tion is sent from the source to the projector.
Note: HDMI uses a code known as HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Copy Protec-
tion), which protects the recorded supports from being copied illegally. The
connection between the source and display require that the two de ices per-
form a handshake and exchange code keys before being able to display an im-
age. The InstaPort technology allows a simultaneous pre-authentification of
e ery attached de ice at the same it is connected, reducing drastically the
time required for HDMI source switching. For this reason you may note a
slight delay before the image appears on the screen, but it is perfectly normal.
•Graphics RGB Input for Personal Computer and other sources that outputs
RGB or YPrPb signals. These sources must be able to pro ide separate H/V
sync or composite H+V sync.
•RGB/YPrPb Input for DVD Players, Set Top Boxes and other sources that
output one of the following signals:
◦Component (YPrPb)
◦RGB with composite sync on green (RGsB)
◦RGB with HV composite sync
RGB connectors also pro ides RGB input for SCART RGBS sources. See “Video”
below and “RGBS Sync” on page 30.
•Video This is the the input for composite ideo sources (such as VCR or
camcorders). This connector is also the composite sync input for SCART RGBS
sources. See “RGB/YPrPb” abo e and “RGBS Sync” on page 30.
Control
You can connect the Nero 3D projector to a Personal Computer or a control system
through one of the following methods:
•RS-232 port, using a standard 9-pin straight serial cable
•RS-232 port, using a USB to serial con erter cable. In this case, installation of a
de ice dri er pro ided by the cable manufacturer may be required
•USB port, using a USB Type A (rectangular) to Type B (square) cable connector.
In this case, installation of a de ice dri er pro ided by SIM2 may be required –
ask your SIM2 Authorized Dealer

3D stereo isualization offers clear and sharp 3D images thanks to 3 chip DLP Imaging
technology. This technique achie es channel separation using acti e shutter glasses.
•Acti e shutter glasses turn on and off in rapid succession and stop light reach-
ing your eyes. The glasses are synced using a IR emitter connected to the pro-
jector.
•When an image is destined for the left eye, the right lens of the glasses goes
dark pre enting any of the image for your left eye from reaching the right eye.
The left lens is completely open.
•The process repeats ery quickly (up to 120 times per second) for each eye.

Your Nero 3D projector is capable of displaying 3D Images of exceptional high quality;
to ensure maximum enjoyment and trouble free iewing we recommend the following
guidelines.
•You will need a Blu-ray player or equi alent that is capable of play-
ing 3D content and is HDMI 1.4 compliant plus of course a copy of
a film that has released on Blu-ray in 3D. Only films with the 3D logo are com-
patible.
•Ensure your player has the latest software installed.
•If your Blu-ray Player has dual HDMI outputs, we would recommend direct
connection to the projector from one of the HDMI connections and the
second HDMI output to the input of an appropriate AV recei er/processor for
audio.
•If you are routing all of your HDMI sources through an AV recei er/processor
the product must be 3D compatible and HDMI 1.4 compliant. Ensure your
equipment has the latest firmware installed (refer to the manufacturer for fur-
ther information).
•Other 3D content pro iders are a ailable such as Satellite Broadcasters, Cable
pro iders, VOD and Streaming ser ices, gaming consoles such as PlaySta-
tion 3. Details of the 3D ser ice pro ided can be obtained by contacting your
local/regional operators.
